Like others have mentioned about that dodgy text claiming I owed £199.99 to Argos and telling me to call a number, it's definitely a scam. They try to trick you into ringing them, but don’t fall for it!

I got a call from someone saying his name was Liam Richards or something like that, saying he was with the Sheffield police. He already had loads of my details and was asking if I recognised any of it.

Got loads of calls from Bristol, number 01174730xxx, TELNYX UK LIMITED – all about car loan offers, but just annoying spam really.

Got a call from an unknown number, picked up but stayed silent and they just ended the call. Bet they’re just sharing your info with loads of marketing firms.

Got a call from M and M Solar Group, they want to set up a time for someone to come and check where they can fit solar panels.

Got a text telling me to ring this number to cancel a purchase from Very.co.uk. Seems like a dodgy phishing attempt to me.

There’s a write-up on 8 below explaining how to report scam calls through the proper police and OfCom channels designed for that. Just a heads up, TPS only blocks calls from genuine companies trying to sell stuff. Make sure you READ ALL the info on the TPS site before you decide to register. Also, consider who might have access to that list! I looked up stuff like ‘does blocking numbers actually work against scam calls’ and ‘can scammers save and mimic your voice’ - some pretty surprising info comes up!

Got a message from +212788231879, which is a Moroccan number, saying my payment from Lloyds Bank has been stopped. Thing is, I don't even have an account with them! They wanted me to ring this UK number, 020 8072 7433. Seems really dodgy and suspicious to me!

Got a call from this number, seemed like spam so I just blocked it and didn’t bother answering.

Got a call from some spam number. Picked up but stayed quiet, just silence on the other end before they hung up. Best to just ignore and block these straight away.

I let it ring through and muted myself, but as soon as they said my name, they just cut off the call.

Seems like one of those dodgy calls trying to get you to claim for a fake accident. Total scam.

Got a call at 17:11, ignored it coz like the other user said, picking up just lets them know it's an active line so then more scammers get through. I've blocked the number and marked it as a scam.

Phone stopped ringing after 3 tries, definetly some annoying spam call.

Got a call with no talking and nothing left on the voicemail. Just a hassle, so I’ve blocked the number.

I got a call from someone who seemed like they were fishing for personal info, and weirdly, I got the impression they might have been a creep too.

They keep ringing me all the time. Every time I block one number, they come back calling from something nearly the same. It’s really irritating. I have no clue who they are since they never say a word.

Got a call showing 'EE Log' on the screen and the person on the line actually knew my name. They claimed to be from the EE network but seemed a bit dodgy. They said they had something to tell me but then suddenly cut the call off. Feels like a scam to me, so watch out for these types!

Got a call from what my phone flagged as probable spam, so I just ignored it. This same number has popped up about three times recently, but no voicemail left at all.

Got a message with a code saying it was from Very, and they told me to call if I hadn't made the purchase. Bit suspicious if you ask me!

Got a call from someone saying they were British Gas regarding our contract renewal. But the number that showed up definitely wasn’t theirs. Also, the way the person spoke was off, nothing like the usual British Gas style. They asked if I wanted the renewal info by post or email, I said email, and then the caller said they’d send it both ways after getting my details. Then they started asking loads of questions but clearly had no info about me at all. Total scammer!

I got a text about some Nike purchase for £250 from Barclays, but I’ve never even had an account with them! Total scam alert.

I answered the phone and said hello a couple of times before a man with an Indian accent came on talking about checking roof insulation. I cut him off and explained that I’d already had foam insulation fitted, then removed, and ended up having the roof stripped because the tiles got damaged when the foam was taken out. After I said that, he just hung up on me. Seems like they ring up to book an inspection, then try to say there’s issues so they can offer to fix them.

Got a call where they began talking about some survey, so I just ended the call and blocked the number. Total annoyance these calls nowadays.

Got a call from 07418 612586, a lady answered and she actually knew my first name. She quickly mentioned some company and a compensation thing, but I cut her off and blocked the number right away. Heard loads of voices chatting in some foreign language in the background. Definitely a scam attempt!
